How about Spitfire Roundabout, Chester Road Birmingham?

 

As a memorial to the 11,780 Spitfires built nearby stands at what used to be the entrance to Castle Bromwich aerodrome.

 

Designed by Tim, nephew of J R R, Tolkien, it was unveiled former test pilot Alex Henshaw in November 2000.

What a waste of money, surely they could have come up with something better, do people recognise the spitfire in this day and age. ?????

Dont get me wrong Cat, I agree with all that honours ours people, but lets get serious, make something that people can understand.

Have to admit I didn't take pic but that roundabout is now a well known roundabout & a large number of people from the area are familiar with spittys.

 

when people ask for directions and reply its straight over Spitfire island or left etc. its far more memorable than straight over the first bland roundabout...

I bet the soapdodging t...er who designed that laughed all the way to his local drug dealer.:-D

Thats OK if you are a local 'ish person, but if an out of towney you might not recognise a spitfire for what it is, the wway they teach history nowadays it starts in the 80's, what chance do some kids have, a spitfire what's that a beer (Kent)

Bit of a coincidence as when Beltring was full of hop gardens, men would have been seen using stilts to wire up the hop poles.
